Mark V. Caruana

I came to Mark with a problem several months ago, he was very helpful in dealing with my dilemma. He responded to me in a timely manner and my case was resolved in an efficient and judicious fashion. He was courteous and handled my case with the utmost professionalism. Mark Caruana is an exceptiona...l Lawyer and I would recommended him to anyone who is looking for a Lawyer with a proven record and five star rating.

I hired Mark when I was hit by a driver who ran a red light fleeing from a crime he just committed. Thankfully I had good medical insurance because it turned out the other driver was uninsured. I consulted several lawyers since I had half a million in medical bills, a totaled car, and both my health ...insurance and car insurance calling me daily. I was advised by a friend not to speak to anyone regarding my accident until I had representation. I consulted with the billboard types all the way to the mom and pop and I could not have picked a better attorney than Mark! He was an absolute hardcore advocate for me and my family. He got everyone off my back, got me several thousand dollars more for my totaled car than the initial settlement offer, got me the maximum payout on my uninsured driver policy and got my health insurance to agree not to go after my settlement to seek reimbursement for my medical bills. He offered to sue the person who hit me in civil court but the guy had a mile long arrest record and wasn’t worth my time or Mark’s effort. Over a year later my health insurance sent me a letter saying they were going to seek payment for what Mark had already settled. Panicked, I called Mark and it took one phone call from him while I was in his office to get the matter closed. I overheard his conversation with the representative and I was speechless that he would fight so hard and genuinely cared that I was never contacted about the matter again. He didn’t have to make that call, my case was settled, he was paid but he met with me and handled my problem. The payment? He asked me to get his paralegal a Starbucks sometime… If I ever need an attorney in the future I will see Mark first!

I agree with the clients who rated him with one star. Poor ethics and certainly a lack of professionalism. Taking my calls were a burden to him as evidenced by his tone of voice and the the way he belittled my questions during sporadic calls. Would tell me what to do (almost in a demanding manner), b...ut was not interested in explaining his reasons. After several months, I discovered he was not even working on my case, thus he never had any new information for me. He seemed to not care. In the end I received the same treatment from him, he suddenly became aggravated and hung-up the phone on me.

I learned a tough lesson about how important it is to hire a professional lawyer with experience in the field! I was involved in a personal injury auto accident where someone went through a red light at 30 mph and crashed into my passenger side. My car was smashed up and I spent 1 day in the hospit...al. I was referred to a neighbor to represent me. This lawyer never arranged a personal meeting at his office - all was done by phone. After we started the case, there was no communication on his side and I had to reach out to him to find out what was going on. Every time I called he was out and even went on a 3 week surfing trip in Costa Rica during this time without letting me know. I was very lost and frustrated. I was then referred to Mark. He met with me in person the day I called. He told me up front that he would never take a case from a colleague, so he called my attorney to try to help me out. After not getting any response after a week or so, we both agreed that if I was going to settle this case I needed a "working" lawyer. This was a serious accident and the lack of attention from the prior attorney led to many errors in the case. The car should have been totalled (it was nearly repaired once I called Mark) and I suffered a herniated and fragmented disc. At once, Mark was committed to my case and communicated with me in person and on the phone throughout the entire process. He worked hard having to try to rectify the errors made in the case - and was able to settle the case quickly and successfully for me. He listened, he communicated and he negotiated well for me. I wish I would have called him first!

I was referred to Mr. Mark Caruana by another client of his that was extremely satisfied with his services! I had a well known attorney from San Diego that was working on a long drawn out case for me, who told me that there was nothing that could be done. I contacted Mr. Caruana and he was encoura...ging and accepted my case. I was extremely impressed by his knowledge and his willingness to fight for me! Which was proven when Mr. Caruana WON my case for me in a matter of weeks! I am very happy to recommend his services to my family, friends and the public! Sincerely, Sandy
